Such a potent factor aids greatly IN

Henderson is the happy possesser
of another literary star in the person
of the sprightly Miss Mamie L. Hatch
EFT. She is young lady of high lit
erarv talents and Henderson may well
feel proud of her. Since her advent
into the active field of letters, her pen
has been in quest by enterprlslng pub
fishers in all sections OF the country.
Miss Hatchett has written many short
stories and poems for the prints, but
the most pretentious work to which
she has applied herself in the realm OF
romance is her novel called "Myra.
which is more than of usual interest.
1t is published by ]. w. Randolph &
English of Richmond, Va. She IS also
the Secretary and Treasurer of the
Southern Woman's Press Association

age and develop literary talent IN the
South, and to aid such writers as are
proven worthy to gain recognition IN
the world of letters. Success to her

The Raleigh &
CASTOR Railroad, goes through the
most fertile sections of North Carolina.
The splendid and prosperous condition
of this road, under its present excellent
management, is subject of remark by
those who travel over it, as it is mat
ter of qualification to people living
along the line. Few like corporations
in the South have better road-beds and
rolling stock, while its affairs are most
admirably conducted. Major John Z.
Winder is the General Manager, and to
him our thanks are due for courtesies
extended. All classes OF
patrons, especially families, ladies and
children, receive from the officials and
employees OF this popular route, pIoteC-
ton, respectful courtesy and kindly
attention.
The Seaboard Air Line
comprises the following roads
Seaboard & Roanoke; Raleigh &
CASTOR Raleigh & Augusta Air Line;
and Carolina Central. The S. A. L.,
has long since been chosen by the
tourist as the favorite route to the
mountain resorts of North Carolina.
Each recurring year its lines are ex-
tended. The company has just ap-
probation of the value of its patrons
and its magnificent earnings are the
result of the good business tact which
characterizes the management of its
affairs. A. ROsCOWER.

An Aged woman,s Scalp Nearly Sow

Daniel Bresnahan made a desperate at
tempt to murder an aged and defenceless
woman named Bridget Dolan, who sought to
be a peacemaker, in room in the top story
of the tenement rookery No. 10 West Ded-
ham street, Boston The victim of the as
sault, terribly injured, managed to escape
with her life, although the chances are more
than even against her recovery. For some
time Bresnahan has been literally indulging
i'll liquor, and would frequently get into
row with his wife. These quarrels, the police
say, have been of such noisy character,
generally ending in blows, that other people
in the house have complained of them, and
asked that something be done with Bresnahan.
Recently Bresnahan came home, as usual
nearly crazed with rum. During the even
ing more liquor was purchased and drunk by
both Bresnahan and his wife When both
were filled to the fighting point, the usual
family row started up. For some reason
Bresnahan took notion todispose of his sur
plus cash which was So. 90, and he II rev it out
of the window. This added to his wife's
wrath, who pitched into her husband
with renewed vigor. Blows followed and
Mrs. Bresnahan got black eye. During the
melee Mrs. Bresnahan had her 5-w eeks-old
Bridget Dolan, S. years old, who lived be-
low the Bresnahans, heard the fighting and
heard the baby cry as if it were hurt Fear
full that the little thing might come to some
harm, she slowly climbed up the stairs. She
saw the dangerous position of the child, and
at once took it from its drunken mothers
arms giving vent to her Indignation in a
few sharp words to Mr.. Bresnahan. With
an oath and the inquiry what business it was
of hers, Bresnahan sprang to the woodbox in
the room, seized Ratchet and struck the old
lady a savage and murderous blow on the
top of the head Fortunately, it was a
slanting blow, and instead of crushing
in her skull, it cut the scalp at point just
above the forehead, nearly off from the head,
so that it hung down like hood behind.
Mrs Dolan, stunned by the blow, staggered
toward the door, and fell in heap
at the head of the stairway with the baby
in her arms Mrs. Bresnahan spraug for the
child, seized it and rushed back into the
room, fearful that her husband might at
tempt to kill her. But Bresnahan's anger
was directed entirely against poor Mrs. Do
Ian. He dropped the bloody Ratchet and
gave the groaning woman ferocious
kick in the side which sent her rolling and
bumbing down the stairs to the foot where
she lay bathed in pool of blood, insensible.
The other people in the house came to her
assistance, which was fortunate. as it I'M
doubtedly deferred Bresnahan from killing her
1t was stated that her injuries, while not nee
essarily fatal, might prove so, as Mrs. Dolan
had lost considerable blood, was not strong,
and was quite old. Bresnahan was arrested
and will have to answer for his crime.

STORY Of former Harrisburger who
once held state office and is now res
ident of Philadelphia, says T. NJ. Jones
In the Harrisburg Telegraph. He was a
lawyer by profession and after leaving
the service OF the state he settled in a
county which was then greatly excited
over the discovery of oil within its
borders. Here he hung out his single
and waited for clients. Sometimes they
came, but oftener they didn't, and his
funds grew lower and lower until at last
it was question of bread and butter
for him and his family. Sitting in his
office one day with his head between his
hands, bewailing his hard luck and
wondering whether life was worth liv-
ing, not cent in his pocket and moth
ing to eat, he was disturbed by the Gu
trance of an acquaintance who asked
him to draw up an agreement relating
to tho lease of some land and the sink
ing of an oil well.
''Ill do it If you pay me-" said the
lawyer.
"Now, see here" said the man, "you
know l have no ready money, but il you
draw up these papers I'll give you an in
terest in the WE'LL"
II won't do it." said the lawyer
bluntly. "You have no money, and are
fast on the road to the poorhouse. No,
l won't help you"
''But you must" persisted the man.
"You can do it. 1t won't cost you a
cent, and you must do it. Go ahead,
now. If I lose it is nothing out of your
pocket. Draw up those papers, you've
nothing else to do"
Well, the lawyer, to get rid of the
man, drew up tho agreements and took
as his pay an interest in the oil we'll.
What happoned1
The oil well was gusher, and the
thick, greasy fluid poured out over tho
derrick and made the poor chaps who
were putting down the well fairly howl
with glee. The lawyer was on hand
just as excited as anybody else, and the
very first chance he got he sold out for
$40 cash. With his money in hand
he fastened home and told his wife of
bis good fortune and they both rejoiccd.
"And, now, mother" said he to his
wife, 'let's get out of this"
And they lit out for Philadelphia.
